Unfortunately, there's not simple formula to identifying all of the factors of a number and it can be a tedious process when trying to identify the divisors of larger numbers. To find the factor combinations of the number 766,114,135, it is easier to work with a table - it's called factoring from the outside in.
We start by creating a table and writing 1 on the left side and then the number we're trying to find the factors for on the right side in a table. Then, below that, write the numbers as a negative as well.
| 1 | 766,114,135 | |
| -1 | -766,114,135 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 766,114,135.
Example:
1 x 766,114,135 = 766,114,135
and
-1 x -766,114,135 = 766,114,135
Notice both answers equal 766,114,135
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 766,114,135 and divide it by 2:
766,114,135 ÷ 2 = 383,057,067.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 383,057,067.5 are factors. In this case, the quotient is not a whole number. Don't write anything down and try the next divisor.
Here is what our table should look like at this step:
| 1 | 766,114,135 | |
| -1 | -766,114,135 |
Now, we try dividing 766,114,135 by 3:
766,114,135 ÷ 3 = 255,371,378.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 255,371,378.3333 are factors. In this case, the quotient is not a whole number. Don't write anything down and try the next divisor.
Here is what our table should look like at this step:
| 1 | 766,114,135 | |
| -1 | -766,114,135 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
766,114,135 ÷ 4 = 191,528,533.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 191,528,533.75 are factors. In this case, the quotient is not a whole number. Don't write anything down and try the next divisor.
Here is what our table should look like at this step:
| 1 | 766,114,135 | |
| -1 | 766,114,135 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 277 | 353 | 1,385 | 1,567 | 1,765 | 7,835 | 97,781 | 434,059 | 488,905 | 553,151 | 2,170,295 | 2,765,755 | 153,222,827 | 766,114,135 |
| -1 | -5 | -277 | -353 | -1,385 | -1,567 | -1,765 | -7,835 | -97,781 | -434,059 | -488,905 | -553,151 | -2,170,295 | -2,765,755 | -153,222,827 | -766,114,135 |
